"Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski teaches manners in Gran Torino"

Walt's neighbour Hmong girl and her White boyfriend are out walking...come across 3 Black male thugs who beat up a bit on the White guy who was trying to be 'bro' cool, ...and push, shove, man-handle and mimick rape at her.
Apparently the girl and boyfriend had wandered into 'the wrong area'.

Walt pulls up in his old truck.
The only way Walt was able to rescue her from the clutches of the 3 Black thugs was by pulling a gun on them, pointing it at them and telling the girl to get in the truck.
He told her before that but the Black thugs would not let her go. They only did so at gunpoint. With the gun pointed right at them.

Movies can often reflect real life.

Sometimes I read something like bambu's "It happens in movies it must be real" and think, he has to be a put on. No one is that stupid. And then I remember kiid thinks West Wing is a documentary.

That movie scene has nothing to do with the white woman threatening to attack the unarmed victim with a deadly weapon.
Nothing.

Unless you're saying the white woman and her husband were the gang members.

It does in a way, that the gun was produced for self/others defence.

What was the message from that scene?
"This can happen to White boys and Asian girls if they stray into the 'wrong area'...they should take absolute care where they walk"?
or
"Guns are great for self defence"?
or
"Every now and again you come across someone you shouldn't have messed with".

Some people go to the movies to escape reality,  some go to find it.

Reality, according to some...

https://www.amazon.com/White-Girl-Bleed-Lot-Violence/dp/1938067061

White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it  was written for the deniers: Reporters and public officials and others who deny black mob violence has reached epidemic levels.

That is why so many readers get another copy: They send it to someone who needs to read it.
Denial is not an option any more. Many of these cases are now on YouTube.
And for the first time, readers will be able to scan QR codes to follow the black mob violence on video as they read about it in the book.

For the first time, readers will be able to see the huge difference between what big city newspapers say is happening. And what the videos show is really happening.
The new edition of White Girl Bleed a Lot documents more than 500 cases of black mob violence in more than 100 cities around the country. Many in 2013. And how the local and national media ignore, excuse and even condone it.

*

Readers learn about "Beat Whitey Night" at a Midwest state fair.

Or how Oprah Winfrey gave $1 million to a Philadelphia charter school, only to see its students on video assaulting a white person shortly thereafter.

Or how gays and Asians and women are particular targets.

And how one congressman and former mayor said his city should not crack down on the violence because that will "just make a lot of black kids angry."
 
etc


#####

Damning book.

Maybe things have improved since 2013, maybe not.
Who knows?  Nobody knows!

Threatening with a weapon is illegal. Threatening with a gun because somebody is angry you hit them with your car is dumb.

She drew the gun because she was being advanced at physically by an angry woman/group.

You can agree to whatever you want to. She or he should have gotten out of the car and apologized for his driving.

Anything else is asshole behavior.

But you're okay with that, I get it.

She got out with the gun with an intention to point it. There is a reason the law says that what she did is a crime.

And remember, Bambi, you're the one who keeps saying people should just obey the law. Except when it is a white woman facing a black woman, I guess, since this is the second time this week that you have defended law-breaking.

"Clint Eastwood as Walt Kowalski teaches manners in Gran Torino"

It only works if the other party doesn't also have a gun and either party has a short fuse or impulse control:

Road rage. Insults. Cutting in line.

And you pick and choose which ones are which. We get it.

Clint Eastwood plays a white guy with a gun who stops a non-white from a robbery.

They.  Were.  Inside. A.  Car.

If they were truly car blocked by the woman or her daughter,  then calling the police would be sufficient.  The family was unarmed and simply asking for an apology.   If they crossed a line and actually did block the car's exit, that's a breach of etiquette and decorum,  not a mortal threat. 

I cannot see any evidence they were car blocked,  however,  so what then would be the obstacle to just driving away?  Again -- what was the threat that required pointing a gun?   
There's really no way you can make the gun-wielding Karen come off as a rational adult.
Note to would-be thugs and rioters:

This week the FBI announced a record 3.9 million background checks for June, the highest monthly total since the FBI began keeping the statistic in 1998. Adjusting to reflect checks only for gun purchases, the National Shooting Sports Foundation says this works out to 2.2 million, a 136% increase over June 2019. NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva says about 40% of these checks are for first-time gun buyers.


I suggest you go listen to Killer Mike talk about gun ownership in America, check the number of views those discourses have garnered, then go think it over four or five times.

You might come at what the fuck you are implying with a slightly different tone.

Individually, you seem more likely to be done in with a harpoon than shot with a conventional firearm.
